The L292 is listed as a DC motor driver. However a pair of them can be used to control a stepper motor.

If the motors have encoders on them, they may be DC servo motors. The drawing seems to show two L292's per motor, so they are likely steppers.

A runaway means positive feedback

Does the motor hold position with just the P term?
I would comment these lines out:

net encoder.02.vel -> pid.3.feedback-deriv
net motor.02.vel-cmd -> pid.3.command-deriv

and try again

Also note that raising the servo thread rate (to say 4 KHz)
will improve the PID loop performance, and also that
final tuning needs to be done under load.
